"whatever reason"

Couldn't possibly have anything to do with the people buying up property at a value and then hoarding it to make money off it at a premium, or the ones flipping them into shiny turds

Ok so i know what parking chairs are used for n’at. I may only have been here since 2011 but I have many friends who have families that have lived here for generations. Also i didn’t ask for explanation so idk what that’s about. But. Ok. Also I’m not talking abt that, i thought i was clear in my original comment but:

These are cinder blocks that literally never move and are in place purely to prevent anyone from ever parking there because ppl will park on the wrong side of the road, on the sidewalk, because they don’t want to park a block or more away from their houses.

The blocks are in place to stop everyone from parking there 100% of the time. Even the ppl who live in the house and put the blocks there don’t park there bc there’s no parking allowed on that side & it’s dangerous to have cars parked on both sides of my narrow street.

Pssst. The city actually can do things to compel the ppl to keep them more accessible (like ticketing ppl who illegally park on them, ticketing ppl who don’t clear them of hazards like ice and snow after storms, etc)

it's frustrating for sure. in my neighborhood we have the already uneven sidewalks coupled with ones that either aren't wide enough for wheeled mobility aides, cars that park on the sidewalks because that' s either just how they always have done it or they can't be bothered to park a block away from their house, or cinder blocks to stop people from parking on the wrong side of the road/sidewalk
